Mariacarla Boscono Wore Custom Dolce & Gabbana for Her Sicilian Wedding to Olympic Athlete Claudio Stecchi

“The dress came about because Ramona [Boscono’s stylist] and I—we’ve obviously long been accomplices in creating my looks, and are also close friends—weren’t interested in any specific brand or particular dress, but rather in a story we wanted to tell about the wedding. It started, therefore, after we chose the location, Bagheria, a small city in Sicily. We did a lot of research, which is one of the things we love to do most. After that, everything came together. I didn’t wear a traditional wedding dress but one that began with traditional elements but then went on to incorporate contemporary references linked to films, books, and photography.”

The collaboration with Dolce & Gabanna was one Mariacarla describes as “extremely easy,” with the looks coming together over the course of a few meetings. “In New York, Domenico and I chatted and looked at books,” she recalls. “We wanted to tell the story of a bride who made a dress by opening all her family’s trunks and using the lace and fabrics that she found and that once belonged to her grandmothers and great-grandmothers, creating a garment that incorporates love and family.”

The jewelry was also created by the Dolce & Gabbana atelier. “We were looking for a constant element for all three outfits; a piece of jewellery that reflects who I have been over the years. We settled on a porcelain rose crown, worn as if it were a crown of thorns. I was a true ‘martyr of romance.’ The look was completed by gloves and a bustier. The boots were hand-embroidered and designed especially for me, and they evolved from fitting to fitting. They, too, look like they were assembled from lace from a family’s trunk. Each piece is extremely sophisticated, but they are also very different from the pieces one usually sees at a wedding. We still had all the traditional items in gold and blue, something borrowed and something new, but we were pretty easygoing with that. We also wore family jewelry. Especially me: I always wear a chain that my mum gave me.” The wedding rings were by Pomellato.

For the ceremony, Stecchi wore a rust brown mohair wool suit with a shawl jacket and wide-leg trousers by Zegna. The look was completed by a wool muslin tab collar shirt and leather slip-on evening shoes. The groom also wore a 1930s Pennisi brooch in platinum and diamonds by Kutchinsky from Gioelleria Pennisi.
